Sunday 23 September 2007, St John's Churchyard (2 to 4 pm)
This open air event in St John's Churchyard, off St John's St., in Bedminster (Google map) is for people to meet and have fun. There will be a chance to
- View the ideas on how to improve the churchyard and the local streets that have come in so far and make some more
- Ask for volunteers to become the steering group for the residents' association.
It's clear from experiences elsewhere that organised groups of people are successful in improving their local environment.

Homecoming - Exhibition Brief
Thu, 19/07/2007 - 9:23am — PeteGHomecoming is an Open Exhibition inviting all Bristol artists to submit works which respond to the idea of ‘Home’. As a counterpoint to the ‘Travel’ themed Southbank Bristol Arts Week 2007, this autumn’s SBA Open exhibition at the Grant Bradley Gallery invites all Bristol artists to submit previously undisplayed works in any medium (including music, film and performance) that embody their response to the idea of ‘Home’. It is hoped that the theme of this Open Exhibition will stimulate the production of new work by artists living/working in Bristol (BS postcode).

Photos of the Trail and Performance Week 2007
Thu, 14/06/2007 - 11:54am — PeteG
This years trail was as ever a success, despite the best efforts of the rain. Thousands of people turned out over the two days of the trail to walk around Southville, Bedminster and Ashton to see work by local artists exhibited in their own homes or in local galleries and shops. And the following Performance Week was similarly popular. For people who weren't lucky enough to get around and see it all for themselves we managed to get an army of valiant volunteers to wander around and photograph it for you. The rather fine results you can see in all their glory on Flickr in a special group set up just for this purpose. http://www.flickr.com/groups/sbaartstrail007/pool/show/
Thanks to all the photographers who took part and uploaded pictures to the group!

A poem by Mark Sayers on the Southbank Bristol Arts Week 2007

A poem by Mark Sayers (© Mark Sayers)
Were I an artist, I'd paint with such skill
A portrait of you sat on the ground floor
Of Southville's Centre on trim Beauley Road.
Your smile would make any man's heart explode,
Fire any suitor right down to the core, . . .

Last year a dedicated team of photographers wandered around the Arts Trail snapping away at the people having fun looking at all the art on display. The results were a fantastic collection of images that showed the diversity of art on display as well as being a unique record of the weekend.
